BCA Rapid Chess Tournament On October 27

The Bermuda Chess Association is getting set to host their Rapid Chess tournament on Sunday, October 27 at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club.

A spokesperson said, “It is a great opportunity for anyone in Bermuda who wants to gain experience of an official chess tournament, in a great location. The BCA [Bermuda Chess Association] is volunteer run and puts on such open tournaments to encourage players of all ages to come out and enjoy the event.

“The time controls [15 mins per player + 15 secs increment per move] are shorter than many other tournaments, meaning that it is a fun, quick format for people to play.

“It is open for viewers too. There will be 5 rounds, followed by award ceremony. There are great prizes on offer, in total $1750 cash.

“Registration happens at Don’s Barber shop on Front street [near Supermart], or online.”
